-Over the years, the top five platforms have remained relatively consistent. However, Wix ecommerce surpassed PrestaShop in 2023, moving from 5th to 4th place. Trends indicate that the open-source project WooCommerce is slightly losing market share, decreasing from 37.3% in 2022 to 35.8% in 2024, while its commercial competitor, Shopify, is gaining market share in the same period (increasing from 17.7% to 19.6%).

 ## Top ecommerce platforms by rank
 
-Using the Chrome User Experience Report data, we looked at ecommerce platforms by rank. Our data shows that only a few ecommerce platforms are represented in the top 1,000 websites, while about 20% of the top 10 million websites use an ecommerce platform. This difference could be because the top 1,000 sites often use custom solutions.

 ## Top ecommerce platform by geography
 
-There are quite a few differences in preferences between geographies. We used additional data from the CrUX dataset, which categorizes the most visited websites per geogrpahical area. For example, `google.com`, while an American website, is also one of the most visited websites by all German internet users. We can see that three leading platforms take the top spot in each country: WooCommerce (violet), Shopify (green), and 1C-Bitrix (red). The following map visualizes only these three due to the limitations of Google Sheets.

 ## Core Web Vitals in ecommerce

 A good LCP time should be under 2.5 seconds. If it takes too long, it can make the website feel slow, and users might leave. To improve LCP, you can optimize images, make server responses faster, and minimize blocking scripts so that key content shows up more quickly.
 
-Despite these challenges, the top 10 ecommerce platforms have shown significant year-over-year improvements in their LCP scores. Platforms like Shopify, OpenCart, and Shopware have consistently had good LCP pass rates since 2022, while Tiendanube, a popular platform in Argentina, made impressive progress, increasing its pass rate from 28% in 2022 to 61% in 2024. On the other hand, WooCommerce lags behind with a pass rate of just 34%.

 ### Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
 
 Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures how stable the layout of a page is by tracking how much content unexpectedly shifts as the page loads. A good CLS score means that 75% or more of a website's visits register a score of 0.1 or lower, indicating a stable, user-friendly experience.

-We can see that Wix ecommerce performs very well on both desktop and mobile compared to other systems. This is surprising, as the ranking data shows that it is primarily used for websites outside the top 10 million, which are likely less professional stores. This performance could also be due to the limited customization options compared to open-source systems like WooCommerce.

 ## Conclusion
 
 Ecommerce is still evolving, with platform preferences varying by region and website size. While WooCommerce remains the go-to platform for many, Shopify has steadily gained ground, especially among higher-traffic websites. Interestingly, platforms like Wix ecommerce perform well in terms of user experience metrics despite being more popular with smaller sites. Overall, we can observe improvements in most metrics, from performance to accessibility, over the past few years, benefiting everyone.
 
 While ecommerce platforms are diverse and well distributed among different providers, a few key players dominate technologies like payment systems. It will be interesting to see how this landscape continues to evolve in the coming years.
